Chapter 540: The lazy family (1)
Bai Zhi nodded her head, entered the house, and said goodbye to Zhao Lan, then left the village with Zhou Xiaofeng.
Zhao Lan, who was embroidering next to the charcoal stove in the living room, stopped working and watched the carriage drove outside the yard. She couldn’t help but sigh: “This Hu Feng is really! It’s been so long, why he hasn’t sent a letter? Zhi’er doesn’t look happy recently. She always sits alone in a daze.”
Hu Changlin also said: “Yeah, it’s been so long, so why he doesn’t write to his family. Did something happened?”
Zhao Lan was also worried: “We don’t know what happened in the barracks, but we can’t go there to look for him. We can only wait at home.”
Zhao Sue came in from the outside, holding a bunch of embroidered clothes in her hands. She asked the women in the village to help her embroider the doll’s clothing. If they embroidered two pieces of dress, they can get 1 silver. They could earn money even if they sit at home. They could earn more than their husband, which can boost their confidence and improves their status in the family. The more embroidery dress was done, the more Zhao Sue could sell dolls.
When Zhao Lan saw her coming in, she looked at the pile of embroidery in her hands and asked with a smile: “Can you sell all that in your hands?”
Zhao Sue couldn’t help but smile: “This is not enough. A merchant in the capital ordered a hundred pieces. It will take me several days because I could finish them.”
Hu Changlin was happy: “Good, with this flow, you’ll soon be able to open two more shops. Then won’t the money flow like a water in your hands?”
Zhao Lan also jokingly said: “It must be like a flood, and no one can block it.”
Zhou Sue smiled with their joke and then asked: “Is Zhi’er gone?”
Zhao Lan nodded her head: “She just left, you two are now back on your business track.”
Zhou Sue sighed: “I originally wanted her to help me draw some embroidery designs. The ones I drew doesn’t look so good. She can do it better.”

In the Bai Family.
Mrs. Zhang, who has two embroidered designs in her hand looked for Mrs. Liu She had thought about it. She doesn’t want to support the first branch, so she must make them self-reliant.
Mrs. Liu and Bai Dazhu were sitting in the bed and talking. Hearing Mrs. Zhang’s calling her outside the door, she immediately had a bad mood: “What’s the matter?”
“Sister-in-law, I have two embroidery designs here. If you embroider it well, you can earn money. I remember you can embroider well, so it shouldn’t be difficult for you to do.”
Mrs. Liu and her husband lying on the bed comfortably. They don’t even want to lift their hands, but she wants her to embroider?
“Just leave it there. I will do it when I have free time.” She couldn’t refuse, so she just tried to cope up with it.
Mrs. Zhang’s frowned, it’s winter season, there is nothing to do outside, what is she going to do that she doesn’t have free time?
“Sister-in-law, you should do it soon. Zhao Sue needs it urgently. I promised to give it back to her early the next morning.” She took a total of six embroidered designs. She already finished two, she just needs to stay up late to finish the rest. It’s too cold during the night, she’s afraid that Mrs. Liu can’t stand it. But she also wanted the first branch to earn some money so that they could eat.
After saying a few more words, Mrs. Liu kept lying on the bed without moving.
Bai Dazhu hit Mrs. Liu’s arm and said: “After you embroider, you can get money. With that money, why don’t we go to town and buy some meat to satisfy our stomach?”
Mrs. Liu looked at him and said: “Xiaofeng doesn’t even have ink to use for his studies, but you want to eat meat? With that money, naturally, we should buy Xiaofeng ink first.”
